Hazel and Usha collected cards. Hazel gave 50% of her cards to Usha and as a result, Usha's cards increased by 30%. If Hazel had 24 cards left, find the number of cards Usha should give to Hazel in the end so that both had an equal number of cards.

310The increase in the number of cards that Usha had is repeated. Make the increase in the number of cards that Usha had the same. LCM of 1 and 3 = 3
3 u = 24
1 u = 24 ÷ 3 = 8
Number of cards that Usha had more than Hazel in the end
= 13 u - 3 u
= 10 u
Number of cards that Usha should give to Hazel so that both had an equal number of cards in the end
= 10 u ÷ 2
= 5 u
= 5 x 8
= 40
Answer(s): 40
